[QUOTE="RustyC, post: 680367, member: 1997"] General Motors built the engine and Gilbert Designs did the skins other than that I built or rebuilt is all. Honestly for me it was not that tough of a task. The chassis work was the hardest part for me. The rest is just a bunch of pieces to a big puzzle. Brakes, cooling, electrical, steering etc. were all separate tasks to be completed is how I tried to approach it. Tuning the shocks and engine (LS) are areas that I don't think I will ever finish but will keep trying to make better. I try not to brag about what I did but I am very proud of it. I look at other offroad rig and onroad stuff as well and think damn I built my own car start to finish..cool. What's built..who knows but a guy can be just as proud of putting on a lift and tires or building every piece by hand. Who is better is not my place to judge. Advice for those looking to build. Avoid custom axles shaft lengths, for rear engines go drive by wire much easier. Wiring and plumbing on one side, driveshafts on the other. [/QUOTE]
